ABSTRACT Nucleotide excision repair (NER) operates through coordinated assembly of repair factors into pre- and postincision complexes. The postincision step of NER includes gap-filling DNA synthesis and ligation. However, the exact composition of this NER-associated DNA synthesis complex in vivo and the dynamic interactions of the factors involved are not well understood. Using immunofluorescence, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and live-cell protein dynamic studies, we show that replication factor C (RFC) is implicated in postincision NER in mammalian cells. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of RFC impairs upstream removal of UV lesions and abrogates the downstream recruitment of DNA polymerase delta. Unexpectedly, RFC appears dispensable for PCNA recruitment yet is required for the subsequent recruitment of DNA polymerases to PCNA, indicating that RFC is essential to stably load the polymerase clamp to start DNA repair synthesis at 3′ termini. The kinetic studies are consistent with a model in which RFC exchanges dynamically at sites of repair. However, its persistent localization at stalled NER complexes suggests that RFC remains targeted to the repair complex even after loading of PCNA. We speculate that RFC associates with the downstream 5′ phosphate after loading; such interaction would prevent possible signaling events initiated by the RFC-like Rad17 and may assist in unloading of PCNA.

We report here that DNA polymerase β (pol β), the base excision repair polymerase, is highly expressed in human melanoma tissues, known to be associated with UV radiation exposure. To investigate the potential role of pol β in UV-induced genetic instability, we analyzed the cellular and molecular effects of excess pol β. We firstly demonstrated that mammalian cells overexpressing pol β are resistant and hypermutagenic after UV irradiation and that replicative extracts from these cells are able to catalyze complete translesion replication of a thymine-thymine cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). By usingin vitroprimer extension reactions with purified pol β, we showed that CPD as well as, to a lesser extent, the thymine-thymine pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct, were bypassed. pol β mostly incorporates the correct dATP opposite the 3′-terminus of both CPD and the (6-4) photoproduct but can also misinsert dCTP at a frequency of 32 and 26%, respectively. In the case of CPD, efficient and error-prone extension of the correct dATP was found. These data support a biological role of pol β in UV lesion bypass and suggest that deregulated pol β may enhance UV-induced genetic instability.

ABSTRACT Nucleotide excision repair and translesion DNA synthesis are two processes that operate at arrested replication forks to reduce the frequency of recombination and promote cell survival following UV-induced DNA damage. While nucleotide excision repair is generally considered to be error free, translesion synthesis can result in mutations, making it important to identify the order and conditions that determine when each process is recruited to the arrested fork. We show here that at early times following UV irradiation, the recovery of DNA synthesis occurs through nucleotide excision repair of the lesion. In the absence of repair or when the repair capacity of the cell has been exceeded, translesion synthesis by polymerase V (Pol V) allows DNA synthesis to resume and is required to protect the arrested replication fork from degradation. Pol II and Pol IV do not contribute detectably to survival, mutagenesis, or restoration of DNA synthesis, suggesting that, in vivo, these polymerases are not functionally redundant with Pol V at UV-induced lesions. We discuss a model in which cells first use DNA repair to process replication-arresting UV lesions before resorting to mutagenic pathways such as translesion DNA synthesis to bypass these impediments to replication progression.
